111: Drinking on Autopilot: How Daily Stress Fuels Your Evening Habits
Description
Breaking decades of drinking habits in midlife isn’t about willpower – it’s about understanding triggers, actions, and rewards, and then reshaping them to work in your favour.
In this episode, I explore why habits form, why they’re so hard to undo, and how stress plays such a big role in keeping us stuck.
I share practical steps to help you swap old autopilot behaviours for new actions that actually bring relief and joy, and why progress, not perfection, is the key.
